Elaboración de un Texto Guía Interactivo de Ejercicios como recurso didáctico y su incidencia en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de nivelación de la Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas ESPE extensión Latacunga

Abstract

This study has its primary objective the analysis of the use of the text Interactive Guide to Exercises as a teaching resource and its impact on academic performance for levelling students at the Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas ESPE (Higher education), Latacunga campus. The Interactive Guide text allowed students and teachers to have a different experience of the contents of Basic Algebra, through the use of interactive tools such as Information and Communications Technology (ITC). Two groups of levelling students were chosen. The parallel experimental group H was made up of 34 students, and the Interactive Guide to Exercises was used with this group. The parallel control group I consisted of 59 students and standard lecture classes were given to this group. Through the Differential Equation of Logistic Growth it was found that students in the experimental group H improved their academic performance by an average of 48.6% in comparison to the control group I. As a result it was concluded that the application of the Interactive Guide had a significant positive effect on the academic performance of the experimental group H. Thus it is recommended that the Interactive Guide is used in correlation with teaching strategies in order to support significant academic growth, in agreement with the necessities and interactive teaching resources currently in use at the Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas ESPE, Latacunga campus.
